Why not come and join my Barefoot book team?


I am really enjoying my Barefoot Book journey. I have been an ambassador for Barefoot for about 10 months and am having a fantastic time promoting these wonderful books. I love being amongst others in the Barefoot community and have met some of them at the conference earlier this year. I was fortunate enough to meet Tessa and Nancy who run the company an also some of the staff who help to run it. We were really spoilt at the conference and came away very inspired, complete with our Barefoot goodie bags containing some wonderful items including the newly published "Ruby's school walk"

about Ruby conquering her fears on her first day at school. We were incredibly fortunate to listen to Miriam Latimer who illustrated Kathryn White's story about Ruby! You can hear them too

I am looking for more people who would love to work from home with hours to suit, so please contact me if you know of anyone .(there will be a gift for anyone who refers a new recruit) New ambassadors can get started straight away for FREE and can also have their own website and all the support they want. Not only can they get a free business but if they join now they could also win an ipad! slider Image
Let me show you how!

There are so many opportunities and places to present opportunities and as we approach the best selling time of the year - what have you got to lose?

Would you like to be in the draw to win £50 of free Barefoot books of your choice? Then share this with your friends. Then email me at lyn@lynsbiz.co.uk to tell me where you have shared this blog (put shared blog post as the email subject ) and I will enter you in the draw! Winner will be announced in Early October. Good luck!

The first challenge of the day

It got to 9.50 before the first challenge of the day!!!! You would think putting £2.30 into a parking metre was easy enough. Well you would wouldn't you? Hey ho what a silly assumption! Instead of a ticket for 2 hours parking it issued me with a 90p ticket for 30 mins! At least there is a phone number on the metre to ring - then second challenge of day - mobile phone hasn't charged properly overnight - will it have enough juice to report said parking metre problem! Lyn is in luck. Having reported said problem Lyn is off on her merry way. On returning to deposit purchases - I noticed a civil law enforcement gentleman at the machine! Engaging him in conversation -as I do (following the 3 foot rule as ever!) I find that the machine was issuing the first persons ticket to the second person so the person who came after me would have had my ticket and if they had only paid 90p it would have been their lucky day! What prompt service - strange then that the said enforcement officer didn't want to tell me his name even though he was a happy chappy and solved the problem. I told him I wanted to praise him to the world - well thank you mr 71 of Isle of Wight council enforcement brigade. The problem had now been sorted (well for now anyway) - I say that as it wasn't long ago I was running round in the rain trying to find a metre that would take my money!!!! seems the metres are far from trouble free. Never mind - I didn't get a parking fine which was my main worry. Of course I used to have a resident parking pass for the car parks but when they went up from £50 to I think £200 it was a bit of a no no!! Wonder why the car parks are often empty!

That problem solved - I then went on to solve David's problem (one of my wikki team!) he had run out of wikki washing up liquid. Lyn saves the day as I had some in the van so David drove by and the said item was passed in quickly through the window - no excuses now David for not doing the dishes (but at least there will be no naughty chemicals going down the drain!!!) and hands that do dishes will be as soft as your face (for those of us old enough to remember!)

Time to get blogging again!

It has been quite sometime since I blogged on this site. Life has been quite manic with running several home businesses. My fathers ill health meant it was much more difficult to keep up with the blogging. It was far more important to make my father's last days much more comfortable and I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him. He finally slipped away from us on 15th June very quietly having put his house in order. He was 89 and was a fantastic husband/father/grandfather/great-grandfather/friend/local preacher/ Rotarian . So many people loved him that when he passed away the tributes started pouring in - so many cards, letters, texts, facebook messages etc - It was so uplifting for us as a family to know our dad had been such a popular man . We planned a service of thanksgiving for his wonderful life. On my mum's and nieces birthday - 1st July and what a celebration it was! The church was packed with people from home and abroad and from every part of his life. The memories of that day will live for a very long time. He had always told me it had to be bright clothes and very cheerful hymns/songs and so it was.
Today I was in church for the first time since the service of thanksgiving (and none of the immediate family were there today) and was a little apprehensive but then realised I was surrounded by the wider church family and as it is such a friendly congregation at Ryde Methodist church I needn't have worried.
As I write, I sit looking out of my home office and have a beautiful view across the Solent to Portsmouth. The sun is shining and there are lots of boats out . - It is such a pretty picture -
It is now time to plan for the future. I have to decide what to do next. With several home businesses to promote (all fairly new!) there is much work to be done. As my sons teach me more about the world of facebook and twitter - I am making many more connections on the world wide web and catching up with many past friends.

I look forward to making many more connections -
